Bookmarks are either duplicated ort moved to the unsorted bookmarks folder; some are deleted and older deleted ones return.

I posted before how many bookmarks are deleted, duplicated, etc. ut what I am seeing now is that many are moved to Unsorted Bookmarks, Some are still being deleted, duplicated and ones deleted months ago return (happening less now). How do I prevent Firefox from moving bookmarks to that folder without my "permission and how do I delete automated backups as of the bookmarks (which I believe may be part of the problem). Note this happens after every PC cold start, has also happened while I was looking at it and all of the usual suggestion DO NOT WORK: deleting the "places" file, running that add on that supposed to fix it, etc.: ou can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:

These did no work so please do not suggest them.

  • How do I get my bookmarks to list when I hit the bookmarks tab. I have to go to unsorted bookmarks to find them

    In the old firefox, when I hit the bookmarks tab they were listed on the side bar. Now when I hit the bookmarks tab I have to go to the unsorted bookmarks and pick my bookmark from there. How do I get them to ist in the side bar like before?

    In the Firefox 4.0 betas there are two different Bookmarks '''buttons''' (not "tabs"), The one that automatically appears when the Menu Bar is hidden and the orange Firefox button, is for the Bookmarks Menu Bar drop-down. The Bookmarks button that is in the Customize Palette is for opening and closing the Bookmarks Sidebar. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

  • How do I get rid of Firefox as its awfully slow and has lost all my favourites which are not in the unsorted bookmarks file?

    I was told by eBay to set up Mozilla Firefox as I had problems uploading scans on to listings. I now find I have lost all my favourites and there is nothing in the unsorted bookmarks, where you told me they would be. Also it has slowed down my computer considerably, and seems to want to have about ten goes every time you try to get into a website. So it seems totally useless to me, and I want to revert to Internet Explorer. Why is MF such a useless system and how do I delete it - I am very elderly busy computer operator with ;ittle knowledge of systems, what you call things and so on, so please keep it simple. Jeremy

    From Bookmarks (at top left of page) select 'Show All Bookmarks'. This will open the bookmarks Library. Have a look around here to see if your bookmarks (favourites) are all there. If so, you can now export them for use in other browsers. Why not take the opportunity to tidy or restrucure them before export?
    To export them select 'Import and Backup' then 'Export HTML'. Save the file to somewhere safe on your PC, My Documents perhaps.
    I use an Uninstaller Program so I'm not too sure but I think you can uninstall Firefox > Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox - and there's possibly an uninstall option here. Failing this, go to the Program folder and find the 'uninstall' folder, double click 'helper.exe' and this will open the Firefox uninstaller.

  • I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns

    I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns - the first containing the name, the second containing the email address and the third containing the 'yes' or 'no'.
    Can you help me ?

    The question that needs to be answered is what is separating the columns? Is it a single tab, one or more tabs, spaces, or what?  Or is it the brackets that makes the separation between the three pieces of data?
    If it is always a single tab, that makes it really easy.  All you have to do is find/replace the brackets with nothing (as Wayne said)
    If it might be multiple tabs, you can find/replace tab-tab with a single tab and repeat that a few times until no more double-tabs are found.
    If it is one or multiple spaces, that might be difficult. I'll think about this one if this is what you have. I'll ignore this possiblility for now.
    If it is the brackets separating the three pieces of data, you would Find/Replace the left bracket with a tab then do the same with the right bracket.

  • Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in Home Directory? My Mail alerts, etc

    Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in my Home Directory? Since upgrading to Mountain Lion most of my sounds are not working, in my Mail alerts, etc.

    Did you put any sound files there? Because if you didn't, that will explain why it's empty.
    The ~/Library/Sounds folder is where any sound files that you add go, and they are only available to you as the "logged in" user (if you have other users with their own accounts, they each have their own ~/Library/Sounds folder). Apple doesn't put anything there.
    The sounds that come with Mac OS X will either be in the /Library/Sounds folder (which is the shared location for all users) or the /System/Library/Sounds folder (don't mess around with anything in the /System folder!).
    But I doubt your problem has anything to do with the sound files. Try deleting your sound preferences file, or even just clicking around in the Sound system preferences until they start working again (seriously - I had one Mac that had some audio problems after upgrading, and just turning things off and on a few times eventually worked. It seemed somehow tied to Dictation, so try twiddling those settings too).

  • In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)

    In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta)

    Firefox 3.6.* and earlier set the downloaded file's modification time to the current time. In Firefox 4.0 the behavior has been changed, if a server returns a timestamp telling when the file was last modified (Last-Modified header), it is used instead.
    You can revert to the previous behaviour by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/93121/ Download Timestamp] add-on.

  • Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

    Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.

  • Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

    Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
    Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
    I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

    If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
    You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
    Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
    Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
    I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

  • Hi ... I would like to ask you about the difference between Iphone 5 model A1428 and A1429, as one of my friend told me some of resellers they have A1428 and others have A1429. Now is that true or not, if your answer Yes what it is the difference?

    The difference is clearly stated on the technical specifications page for the iPhone, something you are just as capable of looking at as anyone else here.

  • Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it.

    Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it. Connected it iTunes (on my windows 8 system) with which I sync and that too required an update as old version of itunes cannot read ios7. Problem is itunes does not want to get updated. Some vague error on not having right to write a file in ProgramData folder wheras as an admin i have full rights. Next I downloaded the install file from itunes site - no luck it would not install. Then I tried to remove itunes - it does not want to go. Am at wits end... Is the option only to restore it as a new Ipad?

    Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.

    I have the same problem on my iPhone - an app I want to delete but can't. The app in question doesn't show up on the list of apps i iTunes and doesn't show an 'X' when it starts to wiggle. All the other apps do, but not this one. It's definitely an app. How do I get rid of it, please?

    You seem to be new to this software, so I highly recommend that you take some time to learn it using some great tutorials available online - it will pay off to invest the time, if you follow through, for example the great (and free) introductory tutorial at izzyvideo.com.
    This is an amazing piece of software, and you'll have a lot to learn, but it's well worth it.

  • How to make bookmark tree open dynamically when moving in the content?

    Intro: When viewing a PDF-file with a bookmark tree, I can unfold(open) nodes in the bookmark tree and make the view window jump to the corresponding destination.
    If the bookmark tree is open (unfolded) I can observe a selection mark moving downwards in the bookmark tree as I move down in the content.
    Question: Is it possible to make the folded bookmark (outline) tree open dynamically as I move down in the content? I would like to see the bookmark tree unfold automatically and move the highlight to the bookmark (outline) node for the bookmark position nearest to (above) the view point in the content window.

    Dave,
    thank you for quick and precise answer.
